It seems that as summer turns into autumn, marriage fever hit’s a fever pitch, no pun intended. Brides seem to get an itch that can only be scratched by doing lots and lots of wedding shopping. Luckily for brides in Casper, they are covered. This is because for the past three years, the Wolcott Galleria has sponsored a Bridal Walk in downtown Casper.

Living in Wyoming, we are afforded many opportunities to experience sheer serenity. One of the best places to experience utter tranquility is Casper Mountain, and on Saturday the sounds of fall were upon us. Birds were singing, the wind was rustling leaves, and humans were screaming for their lives. That’s because on this day, Casper Mountain was overrun with terrifying flesh-eating Zombies, all in the name of charity.

When I was young, I always wanted to be Batman. He was absolutely the coolest guy. I realized, very shortly, that it was basically impossible to be Batman. For some reason, however, I still always daydream about being certain movie characters. Whether it’s because they’re super cool, super tough, or get to save super hot girls; anytime I watch a movie I take at least a few minutes to pretend that I’m the main character. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 movie characters I would want to be.

BRAAAAAIIIINNNNSSS. CHAAARRRRIIITTTYYYY. Those are the two things that Zombies love most, I'm pretty sure. So you can imagine their delight when they heard that there will be a Zombie 5k run for charity in Casper on Saturday, September 8th.

With news continuing to circulate that strangers are approaching children here in Casper, we decided to take it upon ourselves to come up with some tips on how to make sure your child stays safe when they are out of your sight. Obviously, the biggest component of this is communication. This seems like a no-brainer for most of us, but a lot of time and trouble can be saved by having conversations with your child. That being said, here is a list of 5 Tips for Keeping Your Child Safe.

I always thought that Labor Day was one of the most ironic holidays in American history. This was simply due to the fact that I never really knew what the point of Labor Day actually was. Because of this, I thought it to be funny that we all got a day off on Labor Day. A simple Google search revealed that Labor Day is actually a celebration of us- the American working man, or woman. It’s our country acknowledging the fact that we work hard, and deserve an extra day off each year.

Many of us view Labor Day as a final ‘hurrah,’ a chance to end our summer on a high note. So we BBQ, we fish, we hike, etc. Casper is always a fine place to celebrate this holiday because of the vast places we can celebrate. Here is a list of our Top 5 places to spend Labor Day.

Halloween is quickly approaching and there is one thing on everyone’s mind- what will everyone be wearing this year? The answer is not a simple one. Hollywood gave way to the most recent string of super hero movies, which will no doubt dominate Halloween this year. Then there are those who prefer to stay on top of the pop-culture landscape, so you will see a cacophony of costumes relative to happenings in news, books, and other non-super hero movies. Regardless, this is going to be a great year for Halloween costumes. With that, we’ve prepared a list of the 10 Costumes You Will See In Casper On Halloween 2012.

On Monday, WWE celebrated a milestone event with it's 1000 episode of WWE Raw. A host of WWE superstars, past and present, were on hand to celebrate this achievement. Also on hand was WWE's 'Social Media Ambassador,' Charlie Sheen. Sheen appeared via Skype (hence the "Social Media Ambassador' title) and offered his thoughts throughout the show. After being insulted by former World Champion Daniel Bryan, Charlie took to his computer and issued what looked like a challenge.

Admittedly, I’m not much of an animal lover. I love my dog, my sister’s dog, and my girlfriend’s mother (Huzzah!). Other than that, animals don’t really do anything for me. That being said, when I came across the petting zoo at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, I was like a little kid.

The Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo is back and if opening weekend is any indication, it’s bigger,badder, and better than ever! With numerous rides, games, displays, prizes and choices of food, the CWFR continues to prove why it is the destination hot spot for Casper in July. People of all ages came out to the CWFR on opening weekend, as these pictures can attest to. And one thing can be certain- fun was had by all.

As a kid in Casper Wyoming, our summers revolved around two things- the pool and the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo. So imagine my delight when, one summer when I was 13 years old, I was able to combine the two with my other favorite thing ever- a girl. This is the story of that day.
